Plateau clarinets (again)

Author: wmb244

Greetings: I have been taking clarinet lessons for about 9 months now. I have just about decided that, because of arthritis and very large fingers, I want to purchase a plateau clarinet, which my teacher has suggested. Some time ago there was a discussion of plateau (covered hole) clarinets, but I missed it. I have two questions: first, does anybody make quality non-plastic (wood) plateau clarinets today? Second, older wooden instruments that I have seen advertised almost always have some small holes (from moving the thumb rest, e.g.) "filled in." Is this likely to affect the quality of the sound from the instrument?
Thanks for any information.

Bill
